I gave a talk on biohacking at TEDxSFU a few weeks ago and it’s finally online! For those of you who would like to follow along with the slides, the PowerPoint presentation file can be downloaded here.

I had a chance to review the 13.56MHz RFID field detector from Montie Gear and I have to say, I like this detector. It’s very thin, somewhat flexible, and is the size of a credit card so it fits in my wallet.

In this video I unlock a Samsung Ezon SHS-3120 electronic deadbolt using my NFC implant from http://dangerousthings.com Great things about the Ezon SHS-3120; – It’s completely self contained and battery powered – It uses only the UID bits of Mifare S50 tags for access control – It leaves memory contents of the S50 free for […]

Combing through spec documents can be a pain in the ass. I recently had to come to a much better understanding of how security features worked inside Mifare S50 and S70 RFID tags, so I put this doc together to try to make the whole thing a little more understandable and easier to read. The […]

This video demonstrates how to get a good consistent read with a 2x12mm Mifare S50 tag and a mobile phone. I use my Samsung Galaxy Nexus to read a glass 2x12mm S50 tag in a sterilization pouch, and read the tag implanted in my right hand.

I had some questions from Dangerous Things customers that centered around getting a good consistent read of the 2x12mm NFC compatible tags they purchased. Rather than respond via email, I figured it would be easier to make this video to explain how to get the tag to read consistently when used with typical “flat plane” […]

After my experience at ToorCamp, it became clear… there are certain kinds of people who are interested in this DIY approach to RFID implantation. So I put together a little online storefront that sells, well, dangerous things. http://dangerousthings.com

Well ToorCamp 2012 is over, and there is plenty to show for it. I ended up going after winning a ticket by answering a GeekWire tech-tune challenge correctly, and offered to write a few “camp journal” style posts for them while I was at it. GeekWire – Arrival (pdf) – Day 1 (pdf) – Day […]
